Etoile du Sahel coach Chihed Ellili has pointed out Zesco United weakest points in their 2018 CAF Champions League campaign.
Zesco squandered a 1-0 first half lead to draw 1-1 at home on August 28 to see them fail to qualify for the 2018 CAF Champions League quarterfinals after finishing third in Group D.
It was the third time in three matches that Zesco had thrown away a lead in Group D to subsequently draw or lose a match in the league phase of the 2018 CAF Champions League.
“Like my colleague (Zesco coach George Lwandamina) said maybe they need more experience and maybe more focus,” Ellili said.
“Fitness nor physical or tactical skills are not a problem because they have them all,they were one of the best in this group but they have to work on the mental part of the game that’s all.”
Comment: Dear coach surly do you need to be told your team’s weakness? Even me as a layman I know that Zesco”s weakness is the striking force and midfield, retire Kondwani MTONGA Whinstone kalengo,Misheck Chaila.Jackson Mwanza and Jacob Banda. They have outlived their usefulness and recruit good strikers for next season.
CHIKILI COACH U HAVE GONE TOO FAR JUST BECAUSE UR TEAM WON THEN U HAVE TO USE WEAKNESS IN ZESCO? ZESCO BIG WEAKNESS IS THE WEAK OPPOSITION IN ZAMBIA SO IF WE CHANGE HH, CHISHIMBA (SELF RETIRED), MULYOKELA,NEVERS MUMBA AND REPLACE THEM WITH GARRY NKOMBO,MULONGOTI, MAGANDE, AND SYLVIA MASEBO THEN ZESCO CAN WIN
Especially their goalkeeper , he should be replaced. He is a finished bankam. He been their for too long…plaese retire him os make him a goalkeeper coach if you feel for him.
in short, they lack footballing intelligence
